Rice v. Vandy v. Richmond v. Emory

<p>Hey everyone. It's decision time - I am curious to see what you guys would pick. (and why please!) </p>

<p>Rice: Century Scholar and Trustee Distinguished (26.5 a year + research mentorship)
Vandy: Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholar (full tuition)
Richmond: Robins Scholar (full tuition and room + board) (I already have arranged research opportunities)
Emory: Liberal Arts Scholar (~17 a year)
Tulsa: Presidential Scholar (full tuition and room + board)</p>

<p>I currently plan on majoring in Physics and Math or Applied Math. (I guess it's subject to change, the probably alternatives are Chemistry or Engineering of some sort)</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I’d choose Vanderbilt if you have full tuition there. Rice/Emory/Vandy tend to be very similar schools academically, and if you have a full tuition scholarship to one of those, I’d choose that school.</p>

<p>Go with the one you like the best, that you can afford. This is the Rice board, so we all like Rice a lot…</p>

<p>Depends on what soft you are wanting. Vandy is very Greek, very Southern and social. Rice is sort of needy. Both ate great schools and pretty campuses, but personalities are very different. I would think for your major Rice would be the way to go, but if you want football and frats, you won’t be happy. I don’t know much about Richmond. Tulsa is the weakest academically.</p>

<p>Meant to say nerdy, not needy.</p>

<p>if you like vandy, i would go there. nashville is awesome and you have no idea how valuable a full tuition scholarship is. richmond and tulsa are great as well, but personally i think vandy has the best setting and will give you the “traditional college experience”. in the end its all up to you. you have great choices of colleges and you really cant go wrong.</p>
